Valuable Postage Stamps.

The most valuable stamp in the world,
says an English paper. is British Guiana,
which, when it was issued, was sold at the
postoffice for two pence, and which is now
worth $50. It is said to he the only
specimen in existence. Of the two-cent
issues Of the same stamp there are only
four specimens. One of these is held by
Mr.. Taplin, NJ. P, another by a Birming-
ham gentleman and another by NJ. de Fer
rari; the fourth is also in France. None
of their owners would take $50 for them,
so that these four stamps may be said to
be worth e200.

The "World's" Park Expedition Dis.
comf1fed and Turned Homeward.

The New York World party under Lieut..
Schwatka, which was to have made a SNOW
shoe tour of the National Park and give
the WortG's readers 3 chance to view the
beauties of Wonderland, clasped in win
ter's icy embrace through the periodical
communications of the %redeubtable Sch
watka, descriptive of his exploits and adj
ventures, started off on a boom of natural
advertising, seems to have slipped in its
ardor and overreached itself in its aims.
With all the glow Of enthusiasm born in
the East for winter adventures in the far
West the party hied them forth with ex-
pensive equipments, including the latest
patent in nov shoes and whisky, and with
high hearts took the steam cars for the
Park. All went well until they reached
livingston, where they began to expert
ence the rigors of climate peculiar to that
section. Snow there was in unlimited
quantity and cold weather too. Boldly
strapping on their snow shoes, however,
they penetrated some distance into the
Park. 1t is said they went in 100 miles or
more, though some seem to doubt this
statement. At all events they went far
enough to get heartily sick Of their expe-
dition. The gallant leader, who bore up
proudly in the rigors of the Arctic circle,
succumbed to the cold and high altitude
Of the Park, the kilograms announcing
that the elevation superinduced hemor-
ratage and forced him to return. Some
darkly hint that their supply of liquor
gave out and they were 10th to prosecute
their journey with the prospect Of nothing
but water for a beverage. However, the
party are now speeding eastward with glad
faces, nothing 10th to exchange the wild,
icy grandeur of the Park for the more
congeniai surroundings of pampered civ
i~lization in the east. A Helena gentleman
travelled down with four of the party from

them in the prose of realistic experience,
and it was with joyful hearts that they
heard that schwtka had the nose-bleed

and gladly turned their frost bitten visa

and live for season to get acclimated, and
perhaps their second tour will be more
successful. And yet they viii be given
full measure of glory, nc doubt, on their
return. Admitting friends in the east will

them as from the jaws of death. The fat

Testing Drinking Mater.

be triflinS, proportionate to the silver
solution added, its surface smooth, color

bottom of the vessel rapidly, the water is
good. III the precipitate is considerable

more considerable the precipitate Tin pro-
portion to the solution of silver added the
worse the water. If the surface shows

Its Effect on Physique in Summer and

The amount of aqueous vapor that the
atmosphere is capable of holding varies

the air is warm, greater in summer than
In winter, and greater in warm than a

Forgetfulness of Pierce and Harrison.
Franklin Pierce and William Henry
Harrison had miserable memories. 1t is
said that ON one occasion a member of
the formers cabinet presented his daugh-
ter to him. n moment after an attache
of the English diplomatic corps requested
an Introduction to the lady. Pierce
turned, looked at her, offered his hand
and stammered an apology while he
asked her name. She was completely
confused, and the officer, who had seen
the first introduction, was at a loss for
words. The situation was exceedingly
unpleasant. At a reception at the White
House Harrison was the center of a
coterie of beautiful women and courtly
men, exchanging the civilities of the
hour, and in high feather with himself
and the world. a tail gentleman, with
side whiskers, with aquiline features. clad
in the mode of the miniature court which
surrounds a president. approached him,
extending his hand. The group parted
before the visitor, who, with a calm dig
nifty, advanced. General, / greet and
congratulate you, the stranger said. Il
do not know you, sir, replied Harrison
Il was your chief of staff, sir, during the
Indian wars. responded the intruder as
he majestically confronted his whilom
chieftain. In moment the president
recognized his old comrade in arms.
Though apologies for his forgetfulness
were profuSe, yet, it is said, his aid never
forgot the sl:ght.-Chicago Herald.
